Objective C was being developed at the same time that Stroustrup was getting evil ideas over at AT&T. I know, I was talking to some people back in 1984 about using Objective C for a project I was doing, and there was a company supporting it commercially (if I'm not mistaken it was ParcPlace, though memory dims after more than a decade). They did it because they knew that C++ was genuinely evil and really just a glorified pre-processor hack, not a truly dynamic, message-passing object system like Objective C. Objective C was by far the better mousetrap of the two, and it lost. Typical. Jordan
